CARY, N.C. – Sophomore Michael Redlicki advanced to the singles semifinals and teamed up with junior Jason Tahir to earn a spot in the doubles quarterfinals Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Carolina Regional.

Ranked 22nd nationally and seeded third in the singles draw, Redlicki went 2-0 on the day to move his season ledger to 9-3. The product of Hawthorn Woods, Ill., dropped the first set against 11th-seeded Ronnie Schneider of North Carolina but came back to take the match in three sets, 4-6, 6-0, 6-2. In the quarterfinals, Redlicki dispatched No. 15 seed Robbie Mudge of NC State 6-4 in the first set and cruised to a 6-0 win in the second set to set up a semifinal meeting with No. 87 Joran Vliegen of East Carolina on Sunday.

Sophomore Bruno Semenzato, the 13th-seeded player in singles, turned in an impressive three-set victory in the round of 16, rallying from being down a double break in the final set to defeat No. 33 Rafael Aita of UNC Wilmington, 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (5). The Sao Paulo, Brazil native carried his strong play into the quarterfinals, but ran into a tough opponent in No. 34 Cameron Silverman of Elon, falling by scores of 6-3, 6-4.

Earlier in the morning, 111th-ranked and 12th-seeded Tahir split the first two sets with Silverman but ultimately suffered a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 setback to the Elon player.

Redlicki and Tahir continued their run in the regional doubles tournament Saturday afternoon as the top-seeded and 11th-ranked duo registered an 8-6 win over ninth-seeded Silverman and Brian Kowalski of Elon. The Blue Devil tandem will face North Carolina’s seventh-seeded pair of Brett Clark and Ronnie Schneider Sunday for a spot in the semifinals.

Following a pair of wins in Friday’s first and second rounds, redshirt junior Cale Hammond and sophomore Daniel McCall took to the courts again Saturday, going up against the second-seeded UNC Wilmington duo of Aita and Sam Williams. Hammond and McCall battled the Seahawks to a tiebreaker but came up just short of the upset, falling 8-7 (2).
